Just got off our second tour on the Juliet and it will not be our last. The boat is absolutely precious, well made, well laid out and just a diver's dream. The staff was well trained, attentive and just a pleasure to be around. Food was delicious and plentiful. The dive master was more than capable of handling any gear issues and did a great job on the briefings. We cannot wait to book our next stay aboard the Juliet!

My husband and I have gone on two dive trips with the Juliet and loved every minute of both! Fabulous crew and boat. The crew make you feel like family and the boat is very comfortable (good food too!). Dive sites are awesome. We look forward to a third trip with the Juliet in our future!

This past October was my fourth trip on Juliet and it was the 3rd trip for my wife. This is our go to place to dive! Between her and I, weve been on Juliet from Miami to the Bahamas twice, once to St. Croix and once to Puerto Rico. So weve spent about a month total on the ship. We have also already booked a two week reposition trip for March of 2020. After spending a total of four weeks on this ship, I feel that I have a good understanding and have encounter all different people and experiences.
Hands down, diving with the Juliet crew is like diving with friends and family. Safety is most

I've been on the Juliet four times in the last three years with two different crews including Kat as one of the Captains. I highly recommend this live aboard. The crews are the friendliest, knowledgeable, know their stuff and tailor make the week for passengers based on guests abilities and what they want to see. I have been on other live aboard and to dive resorts that don't even come close too the hospitality of what the Juliet staff has to offer. Anyone who gives anything less than 4-5 stars has obviously never been on board and never spent time with the crews.

I'd sail aboard the Juliet everyday if I could... unfortunately life gets in the way. The entire crew has been amazing during my times aboard. I've done the Bahamas and Mona Island itineraries and neither disappointed. Great crew, great food, smooth sailing and an all around good time. A shot from the water - Mona Island.

I was on the Juliet in Feb in St. Croix. Crew went above and beyond to make the trip an enjoyable and memorable one. Food was outstanding and plenty of it. Crew was always willing to help us prepare getting in and out of the water. Capt made frequent rounds making sure all our needs were being met. Overall awesome trip and I look forward to my next trip on the Juliet.
